Jaipur News Desk: City residents are also participating in the Local for Vocal campaign. On Diwali, instead of Chinese made lamps, they are buying lamps of different designs made of clay. This time, stand lamps, candles, wax lights and Vastu lamps as well as water jelly lamps are special on the festival of lights.
Potter Prem Sharan based at Tonk Phatak told that the size of the lamps has been changed. Along with preparing mini lamps, many designs have also been made on them. Glass, china glass, fringes and art were designed in the designer lamps.
Potter Ashok Prajapat told that this time the craze for hanging lamps is more. Sita Prajapat, potter at Badi Chaupar, said that the mini lamps prepared from raw clay from the sea shores of Gujarat, South India and Maharashtra are of one to two and a half inches in size. In one spoon of ghee and oil, they will be able to burn longer than a normal lamp.
